OIL-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 313,525,6lated March 10, 1885. Application filed February 15, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIUs F. QUIMBY, of the city of Troy, county of Rensselaer, State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Oil or Wick Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to certain improvements in oil or wick stoves; and these improvements have for their object to increase the efiiciency of this class of stoves for the uses for which they are designed. I

Accompanying this specification and forming a part of it there are three plates of drawings containing six figures illustrating my in vention, with the same designation of parts by letter reference used in all of them.

Of these illustrations, Figure 1 shows aperspective of the stove with the front plate and a part of the top plate removed. Fig. 2shows a plan view of the top of the stove with the centerpiece and boiler-hole covers removed, the annexed illustrations Z Z showing the 0pposite sides of the covers used to close the top openings of the flame-fines. Fig.3 shows a rear end elevation. Fig. 4 shows a section taken on the line :20 r of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a side elevation with the body part of the stove swung down on its hinged connection. Fig. 6 is an enlarged representation of that part of the plate forming the flameway that is immediately above the wick. This illustration shows also the hinged cover of'the flameway with the said parts represented as separated from the stove.

The several parts of the stove are designated by letter-referei'ice, and their function is explained, as follows:

The letterR indicates the oil-reservoir, lo cated within and beneath the base B; W, the wick-tubes, and W the wicks.

The letter A designates the front of the stove; SS its sides; E, its end, and T itstop, that part of the latter extending beyond the end proper being indicated at T The letters F F F F designate vertical flame and heat flues extending from the front to the rear of the stove proper, and F ahorizontal flue below the boiler-hole top of the stove with which said vertical flame-fines connect by means of openings that are smaller in area than the transverse area of said vertical flame-fines.

The letterP indicates apartition or flue strip extending in part from the front to the rear of that part of the horizontal top flue thatis in the rearward extension of it indicated at T and this plate is so arranged as to in part divide the rearward extension of the top horizontal flue in the two areas ffflwhioh connect at the rear of the extension back of the end of said partition.

The letter D designates a damper, one end of which isjournaled into the front end of the partition-plate P, and its other end journaled into the side of the stove S", and made with the external handle d,by which it can be turned up to concentrate the heat'passage within the flue area f when desired, or turned down to allow it topass equally to the areasff The body of thestove, including its extension-top, is adapted to be swung downwardly, as shown at H, the hinged connection shown being that for which Letters Patent were granted me August 23, 1881.

The letter L indicates alatch that is pivoted 7 5 to the stove-front at Z, and onitslower end provided with a hook, j, adapted to hook onto the lower edge of the stove-base at b.

To give an additional support to the stovetop extension, and to better enable it to sup port culinary vessels placed thereon, the pivoted leg J is used. This latter is pivoted to the under side of the extension-top, as designated at a, so that when the leg is in avertical position it firmly supports the top, and as 8 5 swung down it allows the stove body and top to be turned down when necessary.

The letter I indicates an incurve madein the side S of the stove, and 1' an outcurvemadein the end of the oil chamber or reservoir B, so go that the latter subtends or projects beyond the stove at that point.

The letter K designates the top of the base, which, where adjacent to the incurve I of the stove-side S is made with the opening M com- 5 municating with the outward extension of the end of the oil-reservoir, and this opening is made to have the cover m, which at one endis pivoted to the top of the base, as designated at e, and by which said cover can be swung over .100

to close and from over to open said oil-supply opening M. The fines F are made to be closed at the bottom with no air-intake openings, except through the flame-passages or wick-openings w,which are formed in and surrounded by the inwardly and upwardly curved central part of the plate a, and these vertical flame-flues,where they connect with the horizontal flue F ,are made with contracted egressopenings a", with the area of the latter less than the transverse areas of the said vertical fines F. The purpose of this construction is to surround the flame with a body of heated air, which prolongs the flame by a better combustion and dispenses with the use of chimneys.

The letters a indicate a raised edge surrounding the openings a", and the purpose of this raised edge is to prevent the drippings from the broiler when being used from running over the edge of the openings a down onto the wicks.

At Z ,the annexed illustrations of Fig. 2, there are represented the opposite sides of a cover, Y, adapted to close the openingsa when it is desired to use only a part of the wicks or to close all of said openings when the lower covers that are hinged to the edge of the flamepassages are not used. Of these covers shown in'the annexed figures ZZ' the letter t indicates the top of the said covers and t their bottom.

The letters Q designate covers that are hinged to the edges of the flame-passages a and these covers are used to shut off the smoke from the wicks when turned down and to prevent the evaporation of the oil when the stove is notin use.

The letter G designates the position of the gauze usually applied to wick-stoves, and the letters \V indicate the wheels on the pinionshafts by which the wicks are raised and lowered.

The letters 0 indicate exit-openings at the rear of the eXtension-top, and D a damper made to have corresponding openings and blank places, said damper having an external handle, 00, by which it may be moved inwardly to close and drawn outwardly to open said exit-openings.

I am well aware that it is not new to hinge the body of an oil-stove to its base.

I am also aware that it is not new to construct an oil-stove with an extended top with either of these two features of oil-stove structure broadly considered.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The oil-stove having itssides formedwith the incurved portion I, in combination with the oil-reservoir formed with the outcurve r, and the top opening, M, provided with apivoted cover, m, substantially as described, and for the purpose stated.

2. In com bination,the top and bottom plates forming the horizontal flue F, the partitionplate P, and the damper D, substantially as described, and for the purpose stated.

3. The combination, in an oil-stove, of the vertical flame-fines F, made as shown, the top horizontal flue, F", with which the said vertical flame-fines connect separately, the partition-plate P, and the damper D, as and for the purposes set forth.

Signed at Troy, New York, this 2d day of February, 188;, and in our presence, whose names were hereto by us written.
